If ya drop in regularly...............

Did Chrispy re invent as another "subasurf" baited recently by name of jokers ace!!!!!

Yes have surfed on goldy and am amazed at lack of etiquette but on other hand I'm pretty sure that if you didn't drop in you'd never get a wave at most spots along that stretch

Haha I'm way bigger mate but a fighter not funny I spotted him dropping in later on the weaker surfers

You may have a similar situation to what I sometimes find myself in, it's not so much a dropin, more of a " I didn't think you'd make it".

It comes from having a really good paddler, you paddle for everything, even if you're on the shoulder and there's someone on the inside, just because they so often miss if their board has no volume and it's a fullish day.

Very often, I'm right and they do miss, but occasionally I need to kick out in a big hurry.

The funny part about this is that I even kick out when I've been on my feet for a good bit longer than the other guy.

And the other part of that can be when the guy inside keeps paddling for waves and missing them, then eventually you just say to yourself well Im going for it, that's usually the one he gets and then you just kick out no harm done.

kooks everywhere seem to be more down cooly way imo

Speaking of Drop Ins;

It was solid down here all weekend. Surfed Torquay Point this arvo, picked off several nice sets. Might have dropped in a SUP though! Nah, actually, I know I dropped in! But in fairness, I was waiting furtherest out for some big ones, just sitting in my spot, waiting for the biggest ones, and only paddling for the big ones... The SUP rider was darting around like a blowfly, looking for inside ones, etc... Sees some sets looming, so he paddles his guts out to get out the back, and spins around for it, and he's on the inside... I'm thinking, arsehole, I've been waiting here (waiting longest)... He calls me off it after a bit, so I speed checked with a little fade cuttie, to force him to jam on the brakes... He got wasted... I continued.

My best wave for July (so far);

My last wave was a beauty today. Big Double Overhead wave, dropped into a very steep face, and laid it onto the rail because I took off deep, and needed to race it, right from take-off (kind of like a miniature version of those Waimea Rail Drops.. dropping in on the rail... set the rail early... you know..). 5 long cut backs later, you need to actually get towards the nose, and work left, to hook up with the shorey zone... Did that, and rode it to the beach... It ends up as about a 400-450m ride. Happy with that one!

Was that surfing at chickens Simgromdo or hi? Hello to you

Yeah, Torquay Point is kind like a "chicken's" spot. Bells would have been Double Overhead+... Possibly 2.5+ Overhead on the bigger ones.

Well I would be eating chicken from the carpark watching then.

The guy you burnt is obviously a knob Mac so he deserved it.

pfffffffffffffffffffffftttttt
